The cooking class was nice and fun, and we got to eat our own dishes which were very tasty. However, the dishes are prepared just by following the chef's instructions, there is little explanation and the dishes are the chef's own recipes, so not really "traditional" Vietnamese meals. For the rest, the trip to the market was pretty useless and the "crab fishing activity" was just about rocking around and spinning on a small boat with a local who couldn't speak English. As other reviews mention, these activities could be skipped to dedicate more time to the actual cooking class. Overall, the activity was a lot of fun and I got to know nice people, so I enjoyed myself and in that sense it was worth it. However, there are probably better cooking workshops out there.

Very kind. They arranged transportation seamlessly. Good experience to be out of the old town and to be able to do different things
Bare minimum

This tour does the bare minimum. These are for the following reasons: - Market tour was 1.5 stars/ 5 stars. There is no explanation of the fruits, vegetables etc. apart from pointing out the obvious and we just wander around aimlessly through the markets inside old quarter. - Coconut Boat Tour was 1 star/ 5 stars. BEWARE because this does not take you on the official area where you go through the bamboo forest or see the performers eg spinning coconut ride or the fishers. Rather, they just take you to a random bush and camp there for 5 minutes. The only upside was the ladies rowing the boat were very enthusiastic. - Cooking lesson and food was 3 stars/ 5 stars. The cooking lesson was a bit random and with no real explanation of what we were cooking and the meals were (1) charcoal eggplant (2) stir fry chicken Cao Lau (3) mushroom pancake and (4) banana blossom salad. We went on the Hoi An Tropical Cooking Tour the year before so perhaps it’s unfortunate to compare, but the food (clay pot rice, fried spring rolls, traditional Vietnamese pancake, papaya salad). lesson and experience was way better (not to mention it actually took us to the offical coconut boat ride site). However, the food we made was still good which justifies the 3 stars. Overall, 1.8 stars, but rounding up it is 2 stars. Would not recommend. Grateful they did not ask for any tips.
A deeply enjoyable experience

Headed out into the countryside of Hoi An to enjoy beautiful scenery, paddle around in a bamboo basket boat, and spend a peaceful afternoon in a quiet kitchen making an amazing meal under expert guidance. Truly felt like the tour gives locals revenue without requiring them to enact caricatures of themselves.
Fantastic cooking class & authentic basket boat experience

The cooking class was well planned and got everyone involved, and the end result was delicious. It was good to go on the basket boats where it was not full of tourists - a great experience with the locals and a highlight of the day! :) we loved our day and would come again!
